Grey Nomads rolled up in force for the second Easter Stone the Crows Festival in Wagga Wagga NSW. The Recreational Vehicle (RV) mix is the thing which sets the festival apart.

Caravans, motorhomes, campervans, 5th wheelers, tents and campers which included an Owl.

Don't panic your correspondent had not heard of an Owl either until the camper and its 82 yearold owner presented themselves at the festival. Turned out to be a Jayco camper which pre-datesthe popular Jayco Dove. Ideal for an independent person travelling alone and using a much lovedMitsubishi Magna as the tow vehicle.

GSA is not certain how much the Owl weighs but an educated guess says about 840kg loaded.

Imaginative names come with the big cross-section ofRV's. So we have include a selection for the entertainment of GoSeers.

The Stone the Crowsevent is also pet friendly and polite protocols are observed. As reported earlier there was afluttered when the venue changed to the ACTA grounds this year, but in perfect weather any flatcampsite was home.

Mike Jacksons Ukulele sessions were a popular part of the festival and ledto GSA's Lisa and Nick becoming disciples.

A lovely day for lawn games at Stone the Crows Festival

The ukulele or sometimes uke, is a member of the guitar family; it generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings. The tone and volume of the instrument varies with size and construction.

Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Driving to Benalla after the festival your correspondent enjoyed being caught up in learning uke cords.
